Boston Get Together? (Read 104 times)

Hi All !I haven't been posting here in a while but when I run Boston one of the highlights of my trip is meeting my old "imaginery" CR, RA & KR friends who got me started on this crazy running obsession I look forward to seeing everyone & this year I won't be late...

Peter, thanks for remembering the few of us left on RA. I don't know how much longer I'll stick around there; today we're looking at Justin Bieber's Girlfriend ads (it's a cologne.).

we were at a pub drinking sam adams 26.2 and the waitress GAVE us two glasses - the route is on one side (hard to see) and 26.2 on the other. needless to say she got a MAJOR tip! see you all in one week!!!

Well it looks like I'm zero for three after all... just canceled all my plans to drive up for the weekend, been sick for close to a week with this head cold/sinus/cough thing already. Exhausted and bone-weary achiness too (though no fever), so an odd flu sort of thing, I guess... anyway, as much as I was SO looking forward to finally meeting everyone this year, I'm going to have to pass, once again. Plus it wouldn't be fair to those running, to expose you to my germs the day before The Big Race. So everyone, have a WONDERFUL time at the Par-TAY... and rock that marathon!!

Like OM, I am very disappointed because I am going to have to miss the party on Sunday too. It is a simple matter of having far too much to do in far too little time: I'm leaving early next Tuesday for a trade conference, and the list of things I have to do before then is too long for me to be able to go to Boston on Sunday and still get just the critical tasks checked off. So have a greta time on Sunday, take (and post) lots of photos, and have a beer for me.

I'll be a gatekeeper at one of the corals on Monday morning, but won't know which one till I get there. So I'll keep an eye out for you all, and if you see a guy with a grey beard, it's OK to say "hi."

Sorry you are missing the party too Jay but very cool that you will be on human chains this year!! A huge group of my MVS friends man the lines and I have been there with them the last 3 or 4 years in a row!! I'll be looking for you when wave 3 gets to the corrals!!

I was hoping I wouldn't have to say this - but it looks like I'm going to be a DNS for Boston this year.

I've had a massisve chest cold for the past week, and I can't breathe freely at all. I thought that it might clear up in time, but it's still down deep in my lungs. I can't run like this. I had to cancel the hotel reservation, and won't be able to make it. I'm so bummed.
